The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 140 Lantern Lights the Way
Under Zhang Xiaoxiao's puzzled eyes, Li Leping opened the suitcase painted silver, and took out a thick gold leaf from it.

This is a gold leaf wrapped in layers, about the size of a person's head.

It contains a supernatural item that can affect the ghost realm.

ghost lantern.

This is a supernatural item that Li Leping obtained when he helped Gu Li, the head of Daxi City, deal with supernatural events.

The location designated by the ghost photo studio is the central area of ​​this urban area, which is the place called Mingyue Community.

But before arriving at Mingyue Community, Li Leping encountered an unexplainable supernatural situation.

But that doesn't mean he's going to change his destination, or even retreat.

His purpose is very clear, that is, he must go to the place called Mingyue Community to take a look.

In the ghost domain, the ghost lantern will be a good pathfinding item.

"what's this?"

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoxiao leaned out from the car, and dropped a sentence in foreign language familiarly along the way.

"Don't ask, just get out of the car and follow me."

Li Leping put the ball of gold foil in his hand on the ground, and then peeled off the gold foil binding the lantern layer by layer.

A white lantern just appeared in the sight of the two.

Inexplicably, the surrounding air suddenly dropped a few degrees, as if there was an inexplicable cold aura lingering around them with the appearance of the lantern.

I don't know what kind of material the lantern is made of, but it must not be an ordinary paper lantern.

To the touch, it is a little soft, but because it has been aged for a long time and has not been specially maintained, it still feels a little astringent.

Kind of like a leathery touch of some kind.

Li Leping didn't know the real leather materials sold in the market.

However, since there is no way to judge, it is fine to assume that the lantern is made of human skin.

As for what was inside the lantern, Li Leping had no idea.

Because the lantern is completely sealed.

Ordinary lanterns will leave an opening at the top, which is convenient for putting candles in.

However, the will-o'-the-wisp lantern in his hand at this moment has not been sealed.

"This thing doesn't need to be ignited, it should be fueled by some kind of supernatural power."

Looking at the unlit lantern that he put on the ground, Li Leping began to ponder.

Before the time was short, he was either completing the task of the ghost photo studio, or he was researching how to make the Forgotten Ghost crash.

I really don't have time to explore how to use the ghost lantern.

But combined with my own experience in Daxi City, this ghost lantern should be lifted by someone, or it will only light up when there is contact with someone?
"Try it."

Li Leping made up his mind and reached out to lift the lantern.

However, he didn't directly lift the lantern with his own hand, but first let the ghost clothes spread to his palm, wrapping his entire palm.

Because he remembered that when he was in Daxi City, that is, after pulling out the lantern from the black figure, when he picked up the lantern, his hands were burned by an inexplicable high temperature.

At that time, Li Leping still had the protection of the transfer ghost, so he only felt burned, but he didn't know what the fate of being burned would be.

Because all the spiritual damage he had to bear was transferred away by the transfer ghost.

Having had this experience, he naturally wouldn't foolishly lift the lantern with his own hands.

Ghosts can't be killed, so it's best to use this feature to let Guiyi bear the price of using the lantern for him.

And just as he stretched out his palm wrapped in ghost clothes, picked up the thin thread on the lantern, and lifted it up.

Zhang Xiaoxiao, who poked his head out of the car window, held his breath and didn't dare to make any sound.

suddenly.

It was quiet before, but a flame sprang up inside the ordinary-looking white lantern.

The next moment, without any warning, the weak flame that appeared out of nowhere began to explode violently, as if someone had poured oil on it.

In the blink of an eye, the faint flames jumped up, from a small flame to a violently burning flame.

A faint blue light began to radiate from within the lantern.

Then, the faint firelight turned into a dim blue light that illuminated the entire block.

The blue flames were eerie and dim, not dazzling.

But in the dark, this only light source is particularly conspicuous.

The blue flame quickly covered the outside, and finally covered a distance of about ten meters around.

And in the place covered by the fire, unbelievable great changes appeared.

In front of his eyes, the illusory scene disappeared.

Instead, another street emerged.

This is a street that is also blackened by thick smoke, but Li Leping knows that this street is the corresponding location in reality, not an illusion constructed by the ghost domain.

"This is……"

Zhang Xiaoxiao in the car also saw this incredible change, and was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

If you cast your gaze further away, you will find an extremely strange and inexplicable situation at the junction of the fire and darkness.

The junction seems to be broken, that is to say, the streets inside the fire cannot connect with the streets outside the fire.

At the border of the fire, a shop was illuminated. Although the name of the shop had been blackened by the smoke, but looking at the closed shutter doors of the shop, one could tell that this was definitely not a residential building.

However, not far away, that is, about ten meters away, you can see that the place where the thick smoke is misty is row after row of old-fashioned residential buildings.

In a five-story building, there are dense lines between the buildings.

This is an old problem in the old city, including in some alleys now. Various lines are mixed, and all lines are connected together, densely packed.

"Why is there such a situation?"

Reality and illusion are separated.

Inside the firelight is the real street, and outside the firelight is the street of ghost domain.

After Zhang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a short time, he immediately turned his gaze and stayed on the lantern in Li Leping's hand.

The strange flame swayed in the lantern. For some reason, the reflection of the flame always gave people a feeling that the flame seemed to be alive, like a person being roasted by the flame, struggling to tear the lantern skin and run out of it. .

It was this lantern, or rather the fire within it, that caused the upheaval.

Huoguang debunked the illusion of Huangquan and showed them the real side.

"Sure enough, the lantern has the ability to suppress the ghost domain, and the range that this ability can affect is about ten meters."

Li Leping watched the changes in the scene in front of him, and then looked at the white lantern in his hand.

The lantern seems to have got fuel, and it can't be burned out no matter how hard it burns.

Even vaguely, Li Leping felt some kind of burning temperature through the ghost clothes and began to stimulate his skin.

"Isn't there a way for the ghost clothes to completely isolate the ghosts of the lantern?" Li Leping said to himself.

"It's going to speed up."

Li Leping didn't plan to try the limit of the lantern, because he felt that the ghost clothes might not be able to last until then, and there would be signs of being suppressed.

At that time, he will be the one to bear the price.

There is no need to test the cost of using lanterns by yourself, Li Leping patted the front door of the car while walking forward, and urged: "Don't look, it's time to go."

"okay."

Zhang Xiaoxiao also came back to his senses suddenly, quickly opened the car door, and got off.
